Why Preventative Maintenance

Stop Paying For Breakdowns You Could Have Prevented

Commercial kitchen equipment doesn't fail without warning — it fails when warning signs go ignored. Grease buildup on burners. Condenser coils clogged with dust. Refrigerant lines developing slow leaks. Door gaskets that should have been replaced six months ago. These aren't mysteries. They're maintenance items.

Maintenance Chef's preventative maintenance contracts put an EPA Universal Certified technician in your kitchen on a regular schedule — cleaning, inspecting, calibrating, and catching small problems before they become four-figure emergency repair calls. We've been serving restaurants, cafes, hotels, schools, and institutional kitchens across Metro Denver and Colorado Springs since 2011, and maintenance contract clients tell us the same thing: they haven't had an emergency repair call since they started.

As members of the Commercial Food Equipment Service Association (CFESA) and the Better Business Bureau, with decades of combined technician experience on our team, Maintenance Chef brings the credentials and depth of knowledge to maintain every major brand in your kitchen — Hobart, Blodgett, Kold-Draft, Lennox, York, Imperial, Carrier, and more. Integrity is our recipe.

Common Questions

Preventative Maintenance FAQs

Everything you need to know before starting a maintenance contract.

At minimum, most commercial kitchen equipment should be inspected and serviced twice a year. High-use operations — busy restaurants, hotel kitchens, institutional food service — benefit from quarterly or monthly visits. The right frequency depends on your equipment load, the age of your appliances, and how many covers you're running. We'll recommend a schedule based on your specific operation during your initial assessment.

We service all major commercial kitchen equipment brands, including Hobart, Blodgett, Kold-Draft, Lennox, York, Imperial, Carrier, and all other major food service appliance manufacturers. Our technicians bring decades of combined experience across the full range of commercial cooking, refrigeration, ice, and warewashing equipment.

Yes. Maintenance contract clients receive priority scheduling over non-contract clients for emergency repair calls. Professional and Total Care plan clients receive priority same-day emergency dispatch. You also receive discounted labor and parts rates on any repair work outside your scheduled maintenance visits.

A maintenance visit is a scheduled, proactive inspection — cleaning, lubrication, calibration, and component checks performed before anything breaks. A repair call is reactive — you call us because something stopped working. The goal of a maintenance contract is to dramatically reduce repair calls. When we do find a part during a PM visit that needs replacement, contract clients receive discounted rates on all parts and labor.

Yes. We work with multi-location operators across Metro Denver and Colorado Springs. We can build a unified maintenance schedule across all your locations, coordinate visit timing to minimize disruption, and provide consolidated service reporting across your portfolio. Contact us to discuss a multi-location program.

If equipment is fully down, posing a food safety risk, or directly costing you revenue — call us at (720) 244-1065 for same-day emergency response. If you're noticing warning signs — temperature inconsistencies, unusual noises, slower performance, visible leaks or drips — that's exactly when a maintenance visit can catch and fix the problem before it becomes a shutdown. Don't wait for a full failure.
